Materials and methods for creating customized compositions having a temporary visual indicator

Title: Materials and methods for creating customized compositions having a temporary visual indicator

Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Claims

The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20080227856, Materials and methods for creating customized compositions having a temporary visual indicator.

1. A method for making a customized composition for application to a surface wherein said method comprises selecting a material; selecting a temporary visual indicator; and mixing the indicator with the material to form the customized composition.

2. The method, according to claim 1, further comprising the step of mixing a modifying substance with the material, wherein the modifying substance enables the indicator to be visible for a desired period of time after application, and then following the duration of the period of time, the indicator is no longer visible.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the indicator is a compound that is selected from the group consisting of Rose Bengal, Erythrosine, Cyanine, 4-nitrophenol, phenolphthalein; bromthymol blue; thymol blue; phenol red; cresol red; m-cresol purple; methyl violet; methyl orange; bromocresol green; methyl red; thymolphthalein; and alizarin yellow.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color at a first pH, but is colorless at a second pH.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the material is one that is applied to the surface of plants and is selected from the group consisting of herbicidal formulations, pesticide formulations, fungicide formulations, plant growth regulator formulations, insecticide formulations, fertilizer formulations, protectants, sealants, cleansers, polishes, varnishes, lacquers, and topical materials.

6. The method according to 4, wherein the indicator is selected from the group consisting of 3,3-bis[4-hydroxyphenyl]-1-[3H]-isobenzofuranone and thymolphthalein.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein the modifying substance is a volatile base, volatile acid, or a sticker-spreader compound.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the modifying substance is selected from the group consisting of a monoamine, a diamine, a cyclic amine, hydrochloric acid, thionyl chloride, acetic, malic and tartaric, isobutyric, butyric, isovaleric, valeric, hexanoic, 3-methylvaleric, hetanoic, and nonanoic acids.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color at a first temperature but is colorless at a second temperature.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is selected from the group consisting of Rose Bengal, basonyl green; basonyl blue; diarylmethane; FD&C #2 indigotene; FD&C #2 lake; triarylmethane (pylam blue); FD&C #1 triphenylmethane; FD&C #1 lake; FD&C #5 yellow; pyrazoine; FD&C #3 green; triphenylmethane; FD&C #3 red; erthyrosine powder; and FD&C #5 yellow lake.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color at a first moisture level, but is colorless at a second moisture level.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color prior to exposure to light, but is colorless after exposure to light.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color prior to reaction with an oxidizing agent, but is colorless after reaction with an oxidizing agent.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the indicator is a compound that exhibits a visible color prior to reaction with a reducing agent but is colorless after reaction with a reducing agent.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the material is non-paint material.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein the material is a one that is applied to plants.

17. A composition comprising: (a) a non-paint material selected for application to a surface; and (b) a temporary visual indicator that is initially visible and capable of becoming substantially colorless after application of the composition to a surface, wherein the temporary visual indicator is a photosensitive dye.

18. The composition according to claim 17, wherein the material is selected from the group consisting of herbicidal formulations, pesticide formulations, fungicide formulations, plant growth regulator formulations, insecticide formulations, fertilizer formulations cleansers, and topical materials;

19. The composition according to claim 17, wherein the temporary visual indicator is selected from the group consisting of Rose Bengal, basonyl green; basonyl blue; diarylmethane; FD&C #2 indigotene; FD&C #2 lake; triarylmethane (pylam blue); FD&C #1 triphenylmethane; FD&C #1 lake; FD&C #5 yellow; pyrazoine; FD&C #3 green; tripheynylmethane; FD&C #3 red; Erythrosine; and FD&C #5 yellow lake.

20. The composition of claim 17, wherein the material is one that is applied to plants and is selected from the group consisting of herbicide formulations, pesticide formulations, insecticide formulations, fungicide formulations, plant growth regulator formulations, and fertilizer formulations; and the temporary visual indicator is selected from the group consisting of Rose Bengal and Erythrosine.

21. A kit for making a customized composition for application to a surface, wherein said kit comprises at least one compartment that includes a temporary visual indicator, wherein the temporary visual indicator exhibits a visible color and is capable of becoming substantially colorless; and instructions for making the customized composition.

22. The kit according to claim 21, wherein said temporary visual indicator is a photosensitive dye.

23. The kit according to claim 21, wherein the temporary visual indicator is selected from the group consisting of Rose Bengal; basonyl green; basonyl blue; diarylmethane; FD&C #2 indigotene; FD&C #2 lake; triarylmethane (pylam blue); FD&C #1 triphenylmethane; FD&C #1 lake; FD&C #5 yellow; pyrazoine; FD&C #3 green; tripheynylmethane; FD&C #3 red; Erythrosine; Cyanine; 4-nitrophenol; and FD&C #5 yellow lake.

24. The kit according to claim 21, further comprising a second compartment that includes a modifying substance, wherein the modifying substance enables the indicator to be visible for a period of time, wherein the period of time the indicator is visible is dependent on the modifying substance mixed with the material; and instructions for mixing the modifying substance.

25. The kit according to claim 24, wherein the indicator is selected from the group consisting of phenolphthalein; bromthymol blue; thymol blue; phenol red; cresol red; m-cresol purple; methyl violet; methyl orange; bromocresol green; methyl red; thymolphthalein; and alizarin yellow.

26. The kit according to claim 24, wherein the indicator is a compound that is visible at a first pH and not visible at a second pH.

27. The kit according to claim 26, wherein the indicator is selected from the group consisting of 3,3-bis[4-hydroxyphenyl]-1-[3H]-isobenzofuranone and thymolphthalein.

28. The kit according to claim 25, wherein the modifying substance is a volatile base, volatile acid, or sticker-spreader compound.

29. The kit according to claim 28, wherein the modifying substance is selected from the group consisting of a monoamine, a diamine, a cyclic amine, hydrochloric acid, thionyl chloride, acetic, malic and tartaric, isobutyric, butyric, isovaleric, valeric, hexanoic, 3-methylvaleric, hetanoic, and nonanoic acids.
